I just finished reading Wonder last night. WOW!!! What a touching story about how truly mean and unkind people can be...not just middle schoolers...but parents, too. Having taught middle school for 5+ years, I can say that those are 3 very difficult years for many students. In those years, adolescents are discovering themselves and one another and for many, it is not kind.
Wonder is a must read for ALL. Students, teachers, administrators, and parents should read this and remember the message at the end: Choose Kind!
"Courage. Kindness. Friendship. Character. These are the qualities that define us as human beings, and propel us, on occasion, to greatness."
